Pun Sing-lui

Pun Sing-lui (Chinese: 潘星磊; pinyin: Pān Xīnglěi) is a mainland-trained performance artist and Hong Kong resident. His most notable and contested work is Red Action, which he staged after he attended the June Forth vigil held annually in Victoria Park in Hong Kong in 1995.[1] This performance was covered by many local and international press and art historical studies as it was seen as a response to colonial politics,[2] as well as an act of "artistic urge" and vandalism.[3][4][5][6] Some consider it as "the most famous political stunt in Hong Kong history".[7]
